Christ. Imagine if bridges, skyscrapers, dams, cars, airplanes were designed and built like that. I vibeslopped thousands of pages of blueprints, nobody reviewed them, but another team of digital monkeys with the intellect of an ant have al

It's better than any of them for random bullshit you've found somewhere on the internet since it provides a far stronger security boundary than any standalone pdf reader. For trusted documents, I agree.

It's been fairly unstable recently, pages sometimes render for several seconds which I've never seen under MariaDB. Used to be instantaneous, always. Sometimes (maybe 5% or less) the request won't render at all, and you get a

Firebird can be embedded, although neither the database itself, nor the embedded mode are as popular as they once were. It's a fully featured database though, with everything you expect from one, including actually working ALTER TABLEs

Firefox already has "forget this site", which removes all traces of you ever visiting the site, but it's only available from the history modal. Been there for probably decades, yet another thing mostly known to/used by &

Cookies can be encrypted and signed and contain whatever information you want, not just some random token that has to be looked up in the database to be actually useful. This is what aspnet core does by default if you enable cookie-based au

They receive updates on time. I've been supporting a few LTSC machines for friends and relatives, haven't ever seen them receive any unnecessary junk through Windows Update. Just bug and vulnerability fixes.

I've long wished for rich western societies to run extensive student exchange programs with low income countries. Living even one year in most of the world will change your outlook for the rest of your life.

It was neglected during its last few years at Sun. Oracle started moving it forward at never before seen pace, while mostly maintaining backward compatibility (unlike .NET that "did things right from the start", which is what .NET

No, it's completely valid. The arch home page warns you that you're the one responsible for your system, and get to keep both pieces when something breaks. Everything is assembled with this philosophy in mind. This message is re

A package maintainer has to be interested and willing to support it. Sometimes packages get dropped from the official repositories into AUR when the maintainer loses interest, and noone else wants to pick up the slack.

I don't know how it works these days, but a few years ago GitHub was happy to give away usernames from users who haven't touched their accounts in a long time to anyone who asked. Several people I know got vanity usernames that wa

And for some reason you're describing it as it's a bad thing. I don't care much for tailwind, but bootstrap is still used for intranet applications, and is an excellent pick in that category. Why waste time writing CSS, reimp

Your own link says that a proper package manager (e.g. pnpm) supports this out of the box. If there are other use cases that really need post-install scripts, you can whitelist just those in pnpm. In projects I'm working with, there ar

One distinguishing feature is their optional install strategy: running packages directly from compressed archives instead of unpacking them into node_modules. https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp Very similar to using .jar

This has been improving recently; one large project built on several heavy libraries that I've been supporting since 2018 currently installs ~180 dependencies without loss of functionality compared to how it worked, and what it depende

How large a project do you typically use dotnet for? IME dotnet dependency situation is a tire fire, not a month goes by without another dependency biting the dust or going fully commercial with no notice. Which is fair, I suppose, but Go a

I've never rm-rf'ed a git repo (why would you voluntarily remove the reflog?) while also being a very mid-tier developer. The types that do also tend to reboot machines every time something goes wrong instead of looking for the ex

You can ignore them once and then edit to your liking, git will not notice any changes to them and will assume them to be untouched. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-update-index#Documentation/git-...

In poor countries like mine (and looks like GP's too), IT positions are very limited indeed. Nevertheless, it has been one of the very few sectors open to nobodies, helping us to pull ourselves out of poverty, open to those who weren&#

Lots of supposedly technically advanced users switched to Chrome en masse and promoted it on every occasion they could, because it was so much faster, simpler, safer, etc etc. Don't excuse useful idiots from their share of the blame. P

IT is (was?) one of the very few ways for us in third-world countries to pull ourselves out of poverty by our own bootstraps, since social mobility is quite limited if you lack the right connections. I'm pleased with you being so happy
